Abstract
Sialolithiasis may be the most common disease of the salivary glands in patients more than 20 years of age. Approximately 19% of sialoliths occur in the parotid gland. Of these, only up to 71% can be successfully diagnosed radiographically. The remaining 29% provide a diagnostic dilemma. Xeroradiography, because of its tissue-edge enhancement, can distinguish tissue margins of different density more dramatically than can conventional imaging and is an invaluable aid in the diagnosis of nonradiopaque sialoliths.Entities:
